edited October 2014 in Social Groups
The wait is over and the weigh in is now due. Please update the spreadsheet under 30% Time column. I will revise the Ranking sheets by Friday, October 24th.

30% of challenge time is over. If your Short Term Goal Achieved is at 30% then you are on track, above 30% means that you have full bragging rights for the next 10 days, and below 30% shows that it is time to catch up.

The leadership of daily threads for next 10 days (till milestone 4) will be in the able hands of lalepepper.

Goodluck team.

    FYI I am trying to access via my laptop. It says I need to sign in with a google account, I haven't got one and haven't had to do that previously. Has something changed with the update?

    So I failed miserably on my goals yesterday. I did stay within my calories, but I didn't do my exercise goals. I was exhausted! Just need to pick myself up and move forward.

    As for the milestone today, I'm not where I'd like to be, but I still have a loss from the previous milestone. So again, just pick myself up and move forward.

    Goals for today:
    1. stay within calories
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. rest day!

    things are looking good as far as the scale for today, will update my info on spreadsheet later.
    Yesterday was a fabulous day at the gym, the squats were a little tuff but the Deadlift was a major event as I deaflifted 3lb over my bodyweight!!!! This is huge for me!!!!
    I plan to have a nice recovery day today, keep calories in check and just bask in the awesomeness of my body's power :smile:
    Have a great day everyone !!!!

    You don't need any login on laptop/desktop to edit. For mobile devices see the group description.

    No, I have given edit rights to all except for the first three columns in the Main Log Sheet. Other four sheets or tabs are protected. The spreadsheet rights has been the same since 2nd milestone. If you are using your work network then that may or may not be the issue. If anyone else has issue then plz let me know. I will look at it after work (around 5 pm PST).

    I did well yesterday and met all of my goals. I also jogged the entire two miles again without stopping. Since I've been consistently doing that for the last couple of weeks, I will probably up my distance to 2.5 miles starting Sunday.

    Goals for Day 30

    - Drink 80-90 oz of water
    - Stay under calorie goal
    - Strength training and light cardio (walking)

    Hope everyone does well on the weigh in today! We go this!

    I weighed in today and glad to see the scale going back down! I'm not back down to my starting weight yet, 223.8 vs. 224.4lbs, but I'm getting close. Still believing I'll be at 199 by December 31, 2014. Realizing that exercising is playing a big part in my weight loss.

    With that said, my goals for today are:
    * Get in my 84 oz water
    * Stay within Calorie Range
    * 30 minutes of exercising (today's exercising will be housekeeping mixed with Wii Tennis)

    It's hard to believe that 30 days have already passed! Wow! For the first time since we started I posted a gain (1 lb). I know what went wrong, and I know what to do to fix it, so I'm taking it in stride. Here's to a brand new block of 10 days!

    I could jump up and down and and squeal with joy! I actually lost!!!! My goals for the next ten days are to do better (the last 7 days were rough for me). I will stay under my calories, I will limit myself to water only except on this Saturday, I can have one soda.... and I will be adding a night time yoga to help me sleep better and burn a few extra calories.

    I could not access the spreadsheet today either without logging into gmail. This was the first time this has happened so it looks like something has changed in security features perhaps?

    I hope our group has some great results. I had trouble logging in also. I am not sure how I finally got in.

    I have yet to weigh in. Today's goals include hitting the gym for a ride, drinking enough water, keeping my caffiene consumption down, and staying under my calories. I'd also like to surpass my step goal set by my Vivofit (only about 6K, but I'd like to hit at least 8K plus any bike riding) by the end of the day.

    I have failed miserably this week. Eating horribly, been working crazy hours and sitting at an informational booth next to a bowl of candy :( I definitely need to pickup and play catch-up!!!!

    Also I can't get on the sheet but it seems I am not the only one. I will try again tomorrow.

    I've been so busy at work that It's been really hard for me to stay on point with my eating over the last two weeks. I have managed to keep up with exercising. My goal is to just track my meals today.

    I've been struggling for the past week with the kiddo in the hospital, but yesterday I reached my 10,000 step goal. I will weigh in tomorrow morning (I usually weigh in first thing in the am & forgot today), and log my weight in the spreadsheet then. Back on track. Let's do this!

    Great day for my weigh in, excited about the large loss but also scared that some of it could of had been from being sick the last few day. My goal is to get better and see a weight loss on the next check in and to keep myself above the 40% mark. I also had a hard time logging in so i logged on my gmail account and then was able to get on. I didn't have to do that the last two times.

    The group policy is to keep all members even if they have not added/updated their details in the spreadsheet. Only thing that is done is to change font color to Gray. The intent is to give reminder only. The member after adding/updating can self change the color to black font or during routine maintenance I can select the font color to black.

    Please note that the spreadsheet is set at ʺAnyone with the linkʺ option, which means that No Sign In required but I found that Google is asking for log in, which 'may be' due to the number of users of the file.

    Bottom line is that most likely you will need to sign in. I won't be able to update individual requests.

    Thanks
